gauge.
The rolled steel sections laid end to end in two parallel lines over sleepers to form a railway track are known as rails.
RAILS
Sleepers The members laid transversely under the rail for supporting and fixing them at the gauge distance apart are known as sleepers.
Sleepers
Ballast The material placed in between the sleeper and the top of the formation is known as the ballast.
